MSNBC's Hardball College Tour: John McCain @ Villanova

[AlterSpades]

Young people, it's ok to support John McCain. McCain's mantra is "JOBS FOR AMERICA". McCain's economic plan is to create millions of good American jobs. There'll be more jobs than people qualified for the jobs. In a free market, you will achieve your dreams under McCain. When you graduate from college, there'll be jobs waiting for you.

Please review McCain's plan carefully at

j o h n m c c a i n . c o m /Informing/issues/

It is a better and solid plan for the young minds with BIG dreams.

[4ndy419]

"McCain's economic plan is to create millions of good American jobs."

You seem to be a bit confused. That's not an economic plan, that's a hopeful result. Take off the rose colored glasses and learn to view things objectively. Regurgitating meaningless talking points won't get us, as Americans, anywhere.

Obama is the senator of IL.

Murder rate in Chicago up 18 percent over 7-month period of 2007

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

Chicago Air among the Nation's Worst

Illinois Really is More Corrupt

Compared with our Neighbors, We're No. 1!

Chicago Police Department-the most corrupt police in the nation

Look them up to prove the statistics.

[4ndy419]

It is intellectually lazy to provide "statistics" without sources and then tell readers to "look them up".

Also, as you said, Obama is a SENATOR from IL. Things like the State's pension fund are the GOVERNOR'S responsibility; likewise, Senators have no control over individual county's sales taxes. You seem to have no comprehension of how government works, and are desperately blaming the man for things that are not his responsibility, or of his doing.

[AlterSpades]

4ndy419. Actually Obama was a STATE senator before being a US senator. Also, he had a chance to CHANGE Chicago 1st but he didn't & couldn't. Obama is only interested in being the most powerful leader in the world. He's only interested in making people DEPENDENT on GOVERNMENT so the people owes OBAMA their services. How much do you value your freedom to choose? Those handouts are like HANDCUFFS and SHACKLES on your wrists & ankles. OBAMA will OWN you and will OBLIGATE you to do things for him.

David Axelrod of moveon[dot]org is Obama's chief strategist [and senior partner of the lobby group ASK Public Strategies] receives millions for their lobbying services. Illinois state lobbying commission identifies this group as receiving the largest lobbying fees 2004.

no change for the moneychangers.

barack hussein obama says he is for change then votes against change and the surge that has proved successful. Obama would loose the war to win friends on the left. NObama bin Biden!

[grandtheftship]

obamania is for the kids and the teenage girls who really do not care about politics. they like how their idol speaks, they like his smile and his fitness. wow, a president under the age of 50. i'm going to vote for him.

if you watch mccain, you see that he takes his voters serious. no blabla like obama does, no crowd yelling, just smart people that are hearing what the next president has to say. let me be clear, mcain is not the best solution, but the best solution out of the candidates.

[undeadevil03]

John McCain: A Leader WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!

[ray123ee]

"Not caving in..."

John Sidney McCain III has voted with President Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007

"Not caving in to special interest..."

John Sidney McCain III has 40 lobbyists and former lobbyists on his campaign staff. I am sure they will tell him what is best for America.

[swinginpipe]

oink oink.

[ray123ee]

He has 40 lobbyists and former lobbyists on his campaign staff. I am sure they will give him good advice on what is best for America.

LOL!!

[StudentsofAmerica]

Go McCain! Students for John McCain

[Jakewong88]

wtf!!! out of control spending. when clinton left the white house there was a surplus. bush is the president and look at the debt. we're borrowing money from the chinese!

[ashleylynnmorton]

if you don't like McCain then why watch his videos!! people who support him comment here and then you vote them to be bad! why?!? go vote on obamas or hillary's. thanx. all of the McCain supporters appreciate it.

[marcprolife]

Read about how he dumped his first wife after she lost her good looks in a car accident:

Google "mailonline mccain"

[kamajiboy]

Tax the neocons to poverty - vote Obama

a vote for obama is a vote for $1.00 gas and the end of white man rule in the world

[Bighead6365]

1.00 gas my ass. It'll just get taxed more.

[Carlitos1010]

..and how is that?

[Carlitos1010]

McCain = CFR Puppet = Warmonger = Unconstitutional Wars = death of the Dollar = Republican Party = New Warfare Party.

Obama = CFR Puppet = Socialism = Unconstitutional Interventionist Foreign Policy = Democratic Party = New Socialist Party.

The Constitution.... out the window.

[MooseOfReason]

If he talked like this in Tuesday night's speech, I think it would've been great. I don't know what happened. "That's not change we can believe in."

[ashleylynnmorton]

McCain is so intelligent. HE HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN!!

[Carlitos1010]

...I hope you are being sarcastic.

[mykol13v]

I believe everything I see on the Internet. Hollow Earth, UFO's, never walked on the Moon, the Mother Wheel above earth, drone planes on 9/11, USSR was a nice country, Easter Bunny and the Stargate TV series was actually historical records.

[Carlitos1010]

Believe only what you can find hard evidence for,.. what you can find, not documentaries or any other sources that do not reflect your own research.

[WildBluebonnet]

It's refreshing to see free speech on this channel, where we can say what we want. I'm waiting until you ban me, Obama did.

[SuperSmashShows]

good thing i didnt go to villanova

[hiinmyself]

VOTE McCAIN!!! GO McCAIN

[LegendaryBadass]

McCain is way funnier than Obama, let the laughs do the voting.

[shiroisan87]

mccain 08!!!

[unett]

McCain is right, the way to stop Iran is to put pressure on them by employing all of the measures he mentioned. Plus, I'd like to see a naval blockade to impede any mercantile ships from going in and out of Iran. The people of Iran, who hate their imposed government anyway, would do away with Ahmadinejad and the mullahs on their own. They actually hate Islam probably more than we do because it destroyed their country.

[wg40504]

If we do a blockade on Iran they could very easly keep oil from coming to this nation.

[unett]

we mostly get our oil from the Saudis anyway

[BartvG88]

Iranians hate Islam? Are you that ignorant? First of all, Islam didn't destroy their country, Ahmadinejad and those before him did. Second of all, their religion is so intertwined with their foundations and beliefs, that they can't possibly renounce their faith of even blame it for anything. To become an Athiest in Iran would mean you would be excommunicated from the society of even killed, plus it would mean that you would have to look at the world in a fundamentaly new way.

[unett]

Ok, first of all please don't call anybody ignorant when you don't know what you are talking about. I don't want to get into a long debate with you trying to educate you about Iran. The majority or iranians do hate Islam. It was never their religion to begin with. They had their own god. Back in the late 70's Islam was forced upon them. Look at my channel and watch some videos about Iran in my favorites and read the comments from iranians, it will explain a lot.

[ray123ee]

McCain graduated almost bottom of his class. He was 790th out of 795.

People do not graduate when they are in the lowest 0.6% of their class in any school.

John's father and grandfather were admirals; I suspect this allowed him to graduate.

[unett]

ok, thanks for the info, but are you sure you wanted to comment me back? My comment on this video had nothing to do with his education.

[iscman214]

please talk about the issues of normal american people, who fucking cares about some Iran when dollar sucks???

[Mismagius]

The youth of this country is being so easily manipulated and seduced by Obama, they treat him like he's some celebrity yet the man is NOT what we need for this country. The GOP needs to stop holding back and go all-out on the Obama campaign. They and the McCain campaign are being too nice as opposed to Obama who is always viciously attacking McCain and the only way he can criticize McCain is by falsely comparing him with Bush.

[Mismagius]

Obama has associated himself with many shady, controversial and villainous people and will disown them all, as if he hasn't been close to them for so much of his life, in a second if it will gratify his image... He's no different from your typical lying politician, folks! I know people want change, but don't be so easily seduced by Obama's fairy-tales of hope and change and his celebrity charisma -- McCain stands for real positive change. He talks about REAL issues.

[Mismagius]

People need to see through Obama and do their own research. The media loves Obama and refuses to do its job in reporting anything negative about him... Do your own research and you will see that Obama is just another lying, ingenuine politician who will throw everything close to him under the bus for political expedience. The GOP has been holding back for too long, Obama is always viciously attacking McCain yet there is a lot the GOP should be using against Obama right now...

[Mismagius]

Obama just goes on about "change" and other such vague subjects. EVERY politician promises change -- the only difference is that these politicians usually have at least some political accomplishments and experience rather than a blank resume. Not to mention he doesn't elaborate on this "change" he speaks of. To me, Obama is just another slick liberal politician who will lie and manipulate to get votes, but McCain is genuine. I wish people would WAKE UP and see Obama for what he is.

[Mismagius]

Obama is nothing but another slick, shady politician... He is able to manipulate the ignorant, naive masses with his charisma, yet he stands for nothing. When I hear McCain talk, I hear him talk about REAL issues. When I hear Obama talk, I hear a man who is living in some fantasy land talking ambiguously about "change". McCain stands for real change, Obama is just another slick shady politician that is able to seduce naive people with his charisma.

[Mismagius]

This is great. Chris Matthews is a joke to me, though. At least McCain isn't scared to go on blatantly biased media outlets such as MSNBC as opposed to a certain other candidate who would rather not go on news networks that ask him hard questions! McCain is real, Obama is an actor. Obama would be much more qualified to be on American Idol than the president of the United States.

[JonathanMeador]

"Maverick" my ass. Obama will trounce McCain faster than McCain can confuse Sunnis and, um... uh... the anti-Sunnis.

[Mismagius]

Meanwhile Obama will be too busy counting how many states there are and fabricating stories about imaginary family members to get votes.

[nader85021]

and i guess obama will confuse his non existent uncle that didnt serve in world war II, and not being the first people to free aushwitz (since Americans didnt free them first)

[Zerohero52]

Really good video! I liked what the man had to say. I was not too sure about somethings, but I feel better about McCain now.

[gangstarrpirate]

MCCAIN 08!

[MirroringTruth]

Whom ever is running the channel for McCain needs to run more videos of this nature. Those TV ads that essentially say nothing here on YouTube, and aren't worth anything. It was nice to hear his views on something a bit more clearly. Though McCain has my vote(simply the lessor of 2 evils), I do agree with some of the statements said here. And if your going to compete with the younger crowd, which Osamma is leading in, leave the slogans to him, and tell us what you stand for.

[HailTheSun]

This man HAS to become our next president! The thought of Obama being in charge of this country is terrifying..

[getplaning]

"We have got to do business in Washington, so we can carry out the agenda of the American people."-John McCain

In other news- (June 5 Reuters) Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) shut down the Senate floor today by forcing the Senate clerk to read aloud the entire 500 page global warming bill. McConnell alleged that the Democratic leadership "refused to honor its commitments" and push through a significant number of judicial nominees.

"Congress" has a low approval rating?

[Zerohero52]

Yeah lower than president in some polls.

[TravisTCleveland]

Great Job Senator!

[karen32862]

Mr. McCain, how are you going to keep America secure without securing our borders? How are you going to keep us secure by making certain interrogation techniques illegal? How can you talk about spending control while at the same time proposing a trillion dollar carbon cap and tax that will create more beauracracy than the new deal? Have you heard the great numbers in the scientific community denounce al gores fale premises?

[karen32862]

How can you talk about "special interests" but continue to support America's ridiculus ethanol mandate that subsidizes farming corporations at the expense of US citizens, and at the peril of undeveloped nations facing famine? How do you expect to strengthen the economy when you refuse to drill and extract oil here in the US because of environmental special interest groups? Lastly, is it possible for you to come up with at least ONE issue on your platform that is conservative and not socialist?

[tsw42776]

i see why obama is not falling for town hall meetings McCain would eat him alive obama is a joke

[crazyforcrowe]

Spoken like Fred. "Keeping our nation secure". Fred, have you been whispering in McCains ear? Thank you Senator McCain, looking very Presidential, sir. =0)

[DUGLESSM]

DUDE HE'S LYING

[daniel32nicolosi]

Hell Yeah MCCAIN 08!!!!!!!

[danludedude]

This is McCain's strength, taking questions directly and answering right then and there.

Obama's strength is giving a speech to a large audience.

The debates should be interesting, but as of now I'm voting McCain

[luke12191]

Hes awesome and once he has his town hall debates against Obama, there will be no choice but McCain!

[derpified]

He wants to explore all sorts of actions against Iran before resorting to military action...but he won't talk to them.

[ssbb8674]

McCain 08

[kamajiboy]

evict the white neocon rich elitist from his plantation

vote obama

[ssbb8674]

No, we won't vote for muslims.

[lewisbell]

It would help if he was a muslim to start with

[baeryn]

It's funny how Obama fans make fun of McCain, but when we engage you in a political debate you run and hide. Lrn2politics.

[cvfddiver10]

i dissagree we need to vote McCain

[zzx2847]

McCain 08!!

[Me3202093]

Go McCain 08!

[ArmenianGenocide0]

Excellent responses by John McCain.

I am not voting Democrat this year... sorry Obama.

[Bombtrack411]

theredwhiteandblue, I'm for McCain, but you are an idiot! African Americans are people, not "animals" like you said. Have you ever heard Martin Luther King jr.'s "I have a dream" speech? Well, you NEED to. Woman are our equals and real men honor them and don't demean them. The fact that Obama is black and Hilary is a woman shouldn't be the reason someone doesn't vote for them. I'm voting for McCain because of his policies, not his skin color.

[l1011l]

redwhiteblue-Haha, redneck alert! Buddy relax man blacks are good people overall, let's stop the hate, it'll only lead to war. McCain's not a racist, how dare you suggest that and yes he'll make an excellent prez

Women are a gift from god, they're half our population and absolutely deserve equal rights and power. Just imagine trying to be a woman in a male-dominated world, its hard enough as it is for them and they give so much to society. Dude get out of your trailer and learn about the world.

[sturgeon137]

Go Johny go.

[nomoreballandchain]

can anyone with clear conscious vote this retard in if so you don't give a shit about the world your leaving to your kids and sadly it also shows how uneducated you are about reality im sure the cake he had during catrina tasted great in the company of bush

[sturgeon137]

Your proper use of punctuation and grammar really show how educated you are.

[warrior350es]

Oh so I choose? Choose from what Obama/Hillary and McCain? If I choose then how about Ron Paul?

[johnnynova84]

Stop saying Bush 2,libral morons, McCain is nothing like Bush. Stop lying to get your agenda pushed forward; you all are radicals!

[oneak]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. he really puts me to sleep.

[semiliteratedgod]

copper is more lethal? WTF there's no copper in Iraq, it's only in Iran??

Fuck your bullshit talk, you fucking warmonger Bush 2.0 !

[wolflover007]

McCain '08! This was a great video.
